What is priced in?

Instead of guessing what the stock is worth, we turn the question around: what free cash flow growth has to happen for today’s market value to add up? The assumptions behind it can be moved.

Today’s market value implies roughly -6.0% growth in free cash flow per year over ten years (assumptions: discount rate 10.0%, terminal growth 2.5%).

What is priced in?
Free cash flow (last twelve months) $166.8M
Market cap $1.25B
Free cash flow in year ten $89.7M
Terminal value as a share of market value 37.9%

For comparison: over the past five years free cash flow grew by 10.3% per year.

It shows which assumption is built into today’s price, not whether that assumption will hold. Every assumption can be changed with the sliders; the figures move with them.

A simplified model calculation — not a forecast and not a recommendation.

AAQS

7/10

The AAQS (AlleAktien Quality Score) checks 10 quality criteria on growth, profitability, and balance-sheet strength — per the methodology developed and published by AlleAktien, calculated by us from our own fundamental data. A stock counts as a quality stock from 9 out of 10 points. Where a company has a shorter listing history, we calculate over the fiscal years available (at least five).

  • Sales growth 10Y > 5% 16.4%
  • Exp. sales growth 3Y > 5% -21.7%
  • EBIT growth 10Y > 5% 13.7%
  • Exp. EBIT growth 3Y > 5% 2.7%
  • Net debt < 4x EBIT -2.3x
  • EBIT positive, 10Y straight 10
  • Max. EBIT decline < 50% 13.1%
  • Return on equity > 15% 16.9%
  • ROCE > 15% 2.5%
  • Expected return > 10% 16.4%

Growth Score

5 of 10 Solid growth

Ten checks against the annual reports — each one passed counts a point.

  • Revenue grows by more than 15% a year over three years 18.3% passed
  • More than 10% revenue growth is expected for the coming year 7.4% failed
  • Share count grows by less than 3% a year -4.7% passed
  • Revenue growth plus cash-flow margin add up to at least 40 ("Rule of 40") 29.3% failed
  • Gross margin at 40% or higher and without meaningful erosion 55.0% failed
  • Goodwill from acquisitions does not grow faster than revenue 0.0% passed
  • Net debt below twice EBITDA 443 m net cash passed
  • Operating cash flow covers the profits of the last three years 94 m passed
  • Return on capital at 15% or higher, or up versus two years ago 2.5% failed
  • Insiders hold at least 10% or are net buyers 8.0% failed

A criterion without figures counts neither as passed nor as failed; a score is only produced from 7 judgeable criteria upwards. Source: fundamental data. All ten criteria in detail

What Do These Terms Mean?
EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.
